A benchmark for future series releases

User Rating: 8.8 | Need for Speed: Underground 2 PC
NFS Underground introduced the world to tuner racing, and Underground 2 takes it deeper into the world of street racing.
Adding no less than two new modes (URL and Street X), Underground 2 sets the level for future releases.
The incredible addition of free roam allows players to travel the streets and learn where all the shortcuts and hazard zones are before entering races.
NFS Underground 2 sets the benchmark for future NFS releases, and still manages to impress, even to this day.
Still, the comic book style cutscene leaves a lot to be desired, and the opposing racers can be ruthless at times, but with the new ability to recharge your nitrous through incredible moves, staying in a straight line, could leave you losing power and the race.
